output, when zoomed in, looks poorly to the human eye. Can a better solution be
found?
\section{Recommendation}
\label{sec:recommendation}
So far, we have reviewed two widely available open-source generalization
algorithms {\DP} and {\VW}, and now can enumerate the shortcomings:
\begin{itemize}
\item Resulting generalized lines look jaggy and, when zoomed in,
unpleasant to the eye.
\item Blunt bends are generalized to straight lines, even though sometimes
they should remain blunt bends (or even exhagerated bends).
\item Consecutive small bends should be normalized into a larger bend.
\end{itemize}
According to \cite{wang1998line}, their algorithm fixes all 3 issues above. The
algorithm is relatively simple to understand for a non-expert cartographer
software developer, and thus should be feasible to implement in a few weeks.
\section{Conclusions}
\label{sec:conclusions}
We have evaluated two readily available line simplification algorithms using a
river sample and a synthetic bend: {\VW} and {\DP}. Once looking at the
examples, it is quite easy to see the most glaring deficiencies when applying
those two for comparing cartographic generalization.
We are suggesting to complement open-source list of
available algorithms with {\WM}, which was created for cartographic
generalization, and should fix the shortcomings identified in this paper.

We have practically evaluated two readily available line simplification
algorithms with a river sample: {\VW} and {\DP}, and outlined their
deficiencies. We are suggesting to implement {\WM} and compare it to the other
two.
